Creating geometry using a geometry shader

A simple OGL 4.0 GLSL shader program that shows the use of geometry shaders. The program is executed with a python script. To run the script, PyOpenGL and NumPy must be installed.

In this example, the entire geometry (a cylinder) is generated in the geometry shader.
